Like the blind who envy those who see Little children rebel against the creed They believe there is nothing left to tell But the truth is stronger than their shells What the poets said is left unsaid And lady beauty weeps on her death-bed She was pierced by your trends and deception Hugs Suffocated by your sterile preconception It's hard to find, even to forget This great new veil lies overhead It hovers like a sickening plague, like a plague A Great Shadow Deafening, sickening Waiting for the reckoning Beckoning, bickering Searching for the Light A Great Shadow Deafening, sickening Waiting for the reckoning In their minds, searching for the Light(x2) Pleas a true emotion, meat deaf ears Only crocodiles are shedding tears And the masses reaching for their grave Are too numb to even feel the shame Whenever prophets raise their voices Middle legions say they're being exploited They prefer fake liberty without goals In a constant puberty, under control It's hard to find, even to forget This great new veil lies overhead It hovers like a sickening plague, like a plague A Great Shadow Deafening, sickening Waiting for the reckoning Beckoning, bickering Searching for the Light A Great Shadow Deafening, sickening Waiting for the reckoning In their minds, searching for the Light(x2)
